Time sure is ticking by fast! As I am going around doing my last rounds on my hives, I am checking to see which hives still need a little bit of an extra boost in their winter stores. Some hives are all good to go but other ones are still feeling a little bit light. So here is how I know which hives need the last bit of 2:1 syrup or corn syrup to get them ready for winter. Also...just a little chat about why I don't like feeding bee hives in October!
